Buddha Mountain

Three friends, Ding Bo, Nan Feng, and Fatso have finished school but have gone against parental pressure, refusing to write university entrance exams to continue their educations, resulting in disapproval and strife. Restless to start their own lives, independent from that of family, they decided to leave their parents' homes, and work their own way up. The friends rent rooms in the home of the former Peking Opera singer, Chang Yue Qin and run into Changs's bitter life.

As the narrative unfolds, past secrets in Master Chang's life are uncovered by the three friends, and are catalyst to unexpected events and personal growth. These events lead to an increasing understanding between the four, ultimately offering the possibility of acceptance and movement toward individual destinies.
